Emmerdale confirms drama and violence for Robert and John
Robert's half-brother John, played by Oliver Farnworth, is set to intensify the drama having secretly attached a listening device to Robert so he can spy on his every move.
John heard that Robert said he had sold weed that didn't belong to him and decided to tell Ross, one of the characters that the weed belonged to.

Further in the episode, Robert is found to have also used the cash from buying Annie's (Sheila Mercier) back, reports the Radio Times.
The publication continues: 'With John continuing to play Mr Nice Guy, Robert issues a parting warning that the locals will soon see his sibling's true colours.
'But, now public enemy number one again, Robert's isolation leads him into yet another showdown with John, whose underhanded tactics and nasty words cause Robert to lose control.
'A violent incident ensues, with the fate of both characters left on the line in very different ways.'

You can catch all the drama in tonight's episode – how will it end?
Emmerdale is on at 7.30pm on ITV1 or anytime on ITVX as the episode is already available to watch.
The news of this drama comes after fans pleaded on Reddit for a beloved character to return to the soap after 15 years.
Will Wylde, played by Oscar Lloyd, left the show in 2011 when Maisie broke off her engagement with Nikhil and took him to stay with their aunt in Dartford.
Now, fans are calling for him to return as he would have some "proper storylines" now.

"He was one of the nice ones. It would be good for Belle to find proper love, too.
"Also, he would be the right age where he would have some proper storylines too."
